Kermode & Mayo’s Take · THE DOG STARS: Top dog or a dog’s dinner? · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

That's the gag.

And then things proceed very much as expected.

Uh she turns everything upside down, she gets one friend to have sex with a yoga instructor who also turns out to be Australian.

another to hook up with her ex, another loses her job, she wrecks the room, she wrecks the resorts, she wrecks the golf courses, she wrecks the yoga classes, ruins everything.

But actually, as it turns out, giving everyone the shake up they need.

So the thing that I was thinking while I was watching the film was I'm watching it in a very sterile environment in a 10 o'clock screening, right?

And this is you know, could it be different if you were seeing it

You know, with like a nine o'clock screening and an audience for 'cause I that's how I saw bad mums, because bad mums, I think, wasn't

Press screen, but I did quite like it.

Um, in the case of this, I chuckled once.

And I think that I laughed more than anybody else in the room.

And even as I was thinking, this isn't f this isn't aimed at you, and this is the wrong venue for it to be playing in, I was thinking this is absolutely tooth gratingly annoying.

And these characters, I don't believe in any of the characters, and I don't care about any of them, and I don't find any of the jokes funny, particularly not

The joke about the loud, annoying Australian who is going to be loud and annoying an Australian.

Incidentally, if you are an Australian listening to this, I'm not saying that Australians are loud and annoying.

I'm saying that the film

has i the whole film is is built around this one joke about this group of friends who've got this annoying loud friend who then turns up at the spot.

So like I said, it it it it really didn't help that after spending all this time watching the movie I then wasn't able to review it.

And I kind of feel now like a week later on I'm a lot less bothered by it than I was.
